Still looks great 3 years later
The media could not be loaded. I love sparkly things but the thought of walking around with what could be a second car/down payment on a house/cruise through the Bahamas on my left finger ring finger just to show off my poor financial choices didn't really sit well with me. If you have the large amount of money for a diamond version of this ring Congrats! but I do not so I picked a Cubic Zirconia instead. I fell in love with Asscher cut stones but finding something in CZ other than a solitaire was a little difficult. I wanted some tiny details to help make my ring feel a little special.I was shocked by how beautiful and affordable this ring appeared to be and, after searching a few other sites, I couldn't find any comparable rings at this price. There were beautiful rings out there but 2-3xs or more (I'm looking at you HSN) expensive but they were silver only, no plating and most importantly no Asscher cut. Some of the reviews on this ring (dull metal, too small, too big, FAKE FAKE FAKE) made me a little anxious that it was way too good to be true. Maybe some people ended up with duds but I was lucky enough to get a high quality ring that looks like I spent a little more than $40 and that will hopefully hold up in it's new life.It isn't a light ring but not as heavy as real diamonds and platinum would be. I wear a 6.5 and felt that the 7 fits a teensy tiny bit loose but, when paired with the second band, it fits perfectly. The center stone feels a little too large for me. Maybe because I'm not ready for the attention this ring will draw. It is appropriately sparkly in the middle and the tiny stones decorating the sides are not quite as shiny. They help make the ring look more "authentic". It felt a little sharp near the top in the inside and some of the posts on the smaller stones are slightly pokey. I couldn't feel them with my fingertips, only when wearing the ring on my finger. I expect it to smooth out over time and it is a very small complaint.Inside the band is stamped 925 (for the silver) and CHINA. I think China is a beautiful country and I eat Chinese food regularly but I don't want China inside my ring. I'm thinking of ways to safely buff off/cover up that area and will post some pictures as soon as I come up with an idea. The platinum on the band is shiny enough. I plan on updating my review to show how the plating holds up while wearing it at a job that involves a lot of soap and water.I have heard of "baking" a CZ to create a bit more warmness in the center stone. I'm not sure if I will attempt this but if you do a search online you can find some before and after pictures as well as some info on how to do it. I may just leave the ring alone for a while and then see how it ages naturally on my hand before exposing it to an oven.Overall I am happy that I purchased this ring. It is exactly what I am looking for and at a unexpectedly low price. I am looking forward to seeing how well it holds up and everyone's reaction to it.UPDATE - 3 years laterI've been wearing the main stone ring for 3 years daily and the band daily for 2 years. I accidentally left the main ring in jewelry cleaner for hours on year one and the platinum seems to have been mostly removed. Since then I only clean with dish soap, water, and a soft tooth brush. Because of this the pattern on the bottom of the band is wearing faster than the other (see picture) but oh well, lesson learned.I updated my pictures and my ring now has more of an antique look but still sparkles. It is tough to get the tiny diamonds clean in the band, especially the trio on both sides of the main stone. They are not as sparkly most days. The main stone still shines and and I get compliments at work almost daily. I keep it clean every week to 2 weeks and never baked it. Definitely worth the price and I still love my ring.

This Wedding Set Makes a Statement of Beauty and Elegance
I used to own a Jewelry store online. I sold VVS1, VS1 diamonds. I retired from this business in 2003 but still own great quality items that are kept safely in a vault. I decided to give Swarovski CD a try because I want an everyday set to wear without worrying that my good jewelry can get lost. I bought this wedding set. When I received this set (I bought the matching earrings and pendant necklace too), I could not believe my eyes. I was always accustomed to wearing good, expensive jewelry and this set blew me away. When I opened up the box this set took my breath away. The center stone looks just like a VVS1 clarity, D color diamond. Every facet catches the light and it does not look like some see through glassy looking CZ. The quality cut of this Ascher cut stone is so perfect that the light bounces all around the steps around the entire stone and you cannot see through the stone. The quality and workmanship is so high end, that I fell so in love with it. I received the set 3 days ago and wore it to the doctors office because I have a case of tennis elbow. I received compliments from the doctor and the doctors assistant on how beautiful my "diamond ring" is. The wedding band is so dainty and I love the small stones and the delicate detail all around D the entire band. I love the believable size of the stones on the engagement ring. I have long fingers and the stone sizes are not too small and not too large so it is quite believable. As someone who has worked as a professional who once sold fine jewelry I have never see such clean lines, beautiful migraine work and brilliant stones that rival the finest diamonds. This is a very high end look in rhodium plated sterling silver. The Platinum finish caps it so beautifully. I will never tell anyone I am wearing CZ but, I wanted to share here that if you want to replace your old or lost rings with something that looks high end because of the beauty of the design and the fine detail, get this set. It looks beautiful and believable and I never thought I would enjoy the Ascher cut, because I didn't know how well a dispersion of light it had and or how high the refractive index would be. Well, I got it and don't need to measure the fire, refractive index and dispersion, because my eyes are witness to the fire, brilliance and beauty of this set and also because on the first day I wore the set, today, I got compliments and it showed in the delighted wide eyed reactions of these two people. It's stately, elegant design says that I the wearer has fine, discriminating taste in jewelry.

The set was a little smaller than I thought it would be judging from the photo's but it was pretty. I wear a 6
I got my ring yesterday. The set was a little smaller than I thought it would be judging from the photo's but it was pretty. I wear a 6.5 and ordered a 6 and it fit me perfectly. I wanted a silver set to wear when I wear my silver jewelry since my real wedding set is gold. This definitely will work. The rings both have a decorative finish on the bands which makes them feel rough. I'm having a little trouble getting use to that since all my other rings are smooth. Other than that I would highly recommend this ring if you want something that looks real and that you don't have to spend a fortune for. I will wear it for a while and let you know how well it holds up.

No me gusto la calidad
Nada que ver con lo que muestra la foto, es un anillo con un brillo opaco como si ya estuviera muy viejo

Doesnt look real. Stone is cloudy.
Setting is nice but materials were disappointing.
